When I started to play the online game FlashInvaders my goal was to revisit all still flahsable space invaders in Paris. I succeeded quite well (as we speak *September 2019) I flashed 1025 of 1423 space invaders in the capital of France. But I also forgot a few. And this one is a good example of it:

Because of the addictive online game there is no escape from re-visiting all still active space invaders in Paris to get at least in the Top-100. After flashing 10 space invaders in the 10ème within one hour I went from rank 185 to 168 and gained 300 points. My 115th space invader flashed this Sunday. PA_454 is since April 2012 accompanied by work of another pixel artist RV2011. Bonus versus Malus on the building of the sanitation building along Canal Saint-Martin.

Number 114 in Paris was long gone (2007) but due to the work of many re-activators and restorers of deleted space invaders some oldies came back to life. Also this camo space invader in the Marais is back. It's visible and flashable again for the game FlashInvaders. This used to be one of the first space invaders with mirror eyes.

The last FlashInvader walk of the year 2018 in Paris...

Location: Corner of the Rue de Lanneau and Rue d'Écosse in the 5ème arrondissement of Paris, quartier Sorbonne.

Coordinates: 48°84'83" N 2°34'66" E

Reason: Flashing my last 4 space invaders in the year 2018. One new invader and three re-activated space invaders.

FlashInvaders: In the year 2018 I have flashed 140 space invaders. Started the year in rank 122 with 949 space invaders flashed and ended in rank 232 with 1089 space invaders (in total 68,740 players with a total of 3.2 million space invader flashed!). In Paris I flashed 919 of 1375 space invaders.

PA_39: A space invader in the 5ème arrondissement. The original was put up on 15/05/1998 but was deleted. This is the result of the second re-activation of October 2018.

PA_1126 [30 points]

The first space invader I flashed in Paris with Invader's online game FlashInvaders. A game to spot and "flash" the street mosaics of Invader with a smartphone. You fill gallery, score points and compete with other players. In total there are over 2,500 players around the world who spotted already over 71,000 space invaders and scored over 2.4 million points (data of 03/02/2015). I scored 30 points with this one and 100 bonus points because this was the first one in a new 'city'. For the last 10 years I spotted more than 790 Parisien space invaders without flashing them. Some revisits will have to be done the coming weeks, months, years.

This one is located in the 8ème arrondissment.

Roadtrip [9] 16/06/2017

On the planning of my last day of this holiday and roadtrip was my ride home via a hypermarket in the North of Paris, Valenciennes and Charleroi (for the one and only but huge space invader mural), Brussels, Antwerp and Utrecht.

I left hôtel Ibis Nogent-sur-Marne at 08h55 and went to Vincennes to photoflash space invader PA_1282 and I revisited Versailles to find the one I didn’t find yesterday (VRS_03). I spent only 40 minutes in Versailles and went via McDonald’s Créteil N6 to Carrefour Parinor to do my shoppings. Finally left Carrefour and the région Paris at 14h30 to go North. Via A1 (Autoroute du Nord) and A2 (Cambrai, Denain, Maubeuge). At 17h11 I arrived in Charleroi to photoflash CHAR_01. Had my last meal in a very nice and new McDonald’s restaurant in Charleroi and drove away here at 18h31. Had a break at Oosterhout at Andy from 20h41 till 21h55 and arrived finally at home at 22h48. Driving 643.4 kilometers in total today (291 km in France [45.3%], 234 in Belgium [36.4%] and 118 km in the Netherlands [18.3%])

The grand total this holiday and roadtrip was 3,688 kilometers.

A yellow lightning flash appeared at the end of June on this corner of the 10ème arrondissement in Paris right above a bar with the matching name Le Flash. Hard to capture in full sunlight, just a few minutes on a Summer morning if you are lucky.

And this all with a wink to the application game FlashInvaders of course!

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM

In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. It was the 8th city in the world being invaded. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. In June 2020 three space invaders were re-activated (RTD_01, 18, 22) which made it possible to have flashed almost all 26 space invaders of Rotterdam. Except for the hidden RTD_26 which will never be re-activated because it was located on a wall near the Centraal Station. The area is redevelopped and the wall isn't there anymore.

Cours Julien was already invaded during the first wave in 2004 with two invaders but during the third invasion Invader came back to install this one of the wall on the Escaliers du Cours Julien.

Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

Due to the fact that I'm participating in the game FlashInvaders I will be revisiting a lot of active space invaders in Paris. This 2011 Mario character was one of them during my cold but sunny morning walk throught the 15ème, 14ème and 13ème morning walk. Still active after almost 4 years and now featuring GZ'UP and Anne Hidalgo, madame la maire.

A revisit to this Megaman space invader in the 6ème arrondissement to 'flash it' (the game FlashInvaders in full swing on my smart phone since February 2015). To my surprise I found this one protected behind acrylic glass. No idea who did this but it is the first time (apart from the only surviver in Aix-en-Provence) I have seen this in Paris. Protect them all, the work of Invader can already be considered as cultural heritage.

A tiled fresque made by Invader which seemed to be tribute to Bloodi, comic's character by Parisian cartoonist Pierre Ouin. A tribute made by big tiles. "Punt is not dead" is visible on your telephone screen when you flash this one with the application FlashInvaders.

Space invader -Mr. Spock- PA_1122 in combination with Bee Queen (verso) (Mademoiselle Maurice - Art Azoi) in Parc de la Villette. A perfect combination!

Due to the online smartphone application game FlashInvaders it feels like I have to revisit all still existing space invaders again. It was almost 9 years ago I visited this labyrinth space invader for the very first time (yes, time flies) but due to this game I had to revisit this one as well. I'm doing the game kind of district per district to not losing track which one I have flashed and which one not. A lot of the space invaders I have visited have been deleted, stolen or the entire building has been demolished but a lot are still there. A bit damaged or just in perfect shape.

Together with another invasion wave in La Ciotat in the Summer of 2014, Invader put two new space invaders on the walls of Marseille as well. The game 'FlashInvaders' was just introduced, the reason for the 'FlashInvaders' Summer colors.

Marseille has been invaded 13 times devided in 3 invasion waves and the total points in Marseille is 220 points. The first invasion wave took place in the Summer of 2004 with in total 9 space invaders. The most recent one, MARS_13 (photo by Denis) near Gare Saint-Charles has been destroyed in the Spring of 2015 due to renovation works on the building.
